Just putting this out there. ..
Fuel pump self destruction is a bit of a worry , more so the crap that will then pollute
The fuel rails and injectors, wondering if there is a in line filter, screen unit that can be fitted after the pump in the hp fuel line
I might check out some hydraulic options, might save an engine or fuel system components
Whats people's thoughts?

On the front of RHS cylinder head...... would not be feasible to try and filter after the pump doubt any filter could handle the high pressure.

On the high pressure side there'd be between say 4-5000psi at idle and up to 30000psi at the higher end so no, I doubt anything is made to cope with those sorts of pressures.

I realize the pressure that exists that is why I am leaning towards a hydraulics type filter or screen
